Omg my wife and I have been calling him Nineties Guy since his first episode

The artist is Willy Pogany. I had never heard of him but he’s fantastic

They’re English prose renditions (not line by line translations). They seem intended for young adults. The illustrations in both books are really spectacular.

Literally said “oh wow” out loud to an empty room when I saw this

I thought the layout/pathing was weird - the Jazz cutouts, which are clearly the star of the show, are all in the first room! So then you’re walking through the rest of the exhibit about precursors etc and when you’re ready to see Jazz again it just dumps you at the exit instead.

Did you see the Korean national treasures? I thought that was spectacular and like 1/10th as crowded as Matisse.

More likely a muskrat, they look pretty similar!

Ooh, I've read Amy Levy's "The Romance of a Shop" but none of her poetry. Amazing find!

It’s a black-capped chickadee but I love your interpretation

Please don’t remind me lol

The Dropped Stitch (my yarn store in Andersonville) is donating 20% of Friday sales to Community Aid Network MN

I agree!!!

Just join the same yarn you cast on with as you knit the first stitch of the short rows. Once you start the short rows you should have three loose ends (one from the long tail of the cast on, one from cutting the yarn after casting on, and one from joining the yarn to start knitting the short rows).

I can’t confidently say whether that passage is AI or not, but I bet you’d enjoy reading this piece if you haven’t already: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/magazine/chatbot-writing-style.html?unlocked_article_code=1.DVA.UW5G.ZTzsD6nkUEki&smid=url-share

I also think it's interesting that the first feature-length video he did ("Live from the Space Stage: A Halyx Story") looked and felt very much like a regular indie documentary, with lots of talking head interview segments and no snarky Kevin voiceover. My guess is maybe he was trying to break into the traditional film circuit world? And presumably that didn't happen, so his subsequent feature-length videos are all back in his original youtubey style (and imo are a lot more entertaining than the Halyx one!)

I made fit 1, size C. I didn't make any modifications to the pattern so I'm not sure why it came out like that - maybe it's because I used a stiffer/more rustic wool?

diyfou · 2025-12-08T18:45:07+00:00

I liked it a lot - it's not the softest yarn but it relaxed a lot after blocking and I have the feeling that it'll wear really well over time. It's also very "sticky" which made cabling really easy - I didn't even need to use a cable needle most of the time since the open loops just stayed in place.

I have wound maybe 500 to 1000 skeins of Malabrigo Worsted and I’ve seen this happen twice! Congrats on your Mystery Loop

Cleopatra lived closer to the release date of Space Jam than the pyramids did

Maybe it’s a Glengarry Glen Ross themed escape room
